Well we made it to Pigeon Forge, not what I expected for sure. The main road is chock full of restaurants, attractions, mini golf courses, bars and so much more. There will be some photos in my next post.
We drove through Smoky Mountain National Park and it was quite scenic. We also did Clingman’s Dome which was pretty cool, a very long and very steep hike up to the top and that was before we actually got to the Dome trail !
We had great weather this day 
Part of the trail to get to the start of the Dome trail 
Quite a bit of engineering ! 
One of the views from the top 
This was amazing, this sidewalk or whatever they call it ! 
I carried Trum all the way up to the top in my backpack and then forgot about him until we got back to the bottom, he was annoyed 
Appalachian Trail Sign
A few more random photos of our drive through this park. We had also drove to the far side of the Park as we were told there were Elk there, they were not there but still a nice drive. Another drive we did was Newfound Gap and it was also a pleasant drive.
Small river 
The roads were very twisty and turney in some spots (is turney a word?, likely not) 
I love old cabins 
Spooky !
We were told to drive the Cades Cove Loop which was where we were supposed to see a lot of wildlife but we only saw some Turkeys and a baby coyote. Of course there was a ton of cars stopped to see him so we did not get a really good look or photo. We drove through some other areas and stopped here and there, it was a beautiful park.
Next post, downtown Pigeon Forge !
